“El mensaje profético de nuestro obispo mártir monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero, desde un claro apostolado, dijo que la iglesia tendría una opción preferencial por los pobres. Esa será la ruta de mi accionar, buscando siempre favorecer en forma preferencial a los pobres y excluidos.”

Original: «Jesus himself, and most of the message of the Gospels, is a message of service to the poor, a critique of the rich and the powerful, and a pacifist doctrine. And it remained that way, that’s what Christianity was up until Constantine. Constantine shifted it so the cross, which was the symbol of persecution of somebody working for the poor, was put on the shield of the Roman Empire. It became the symbol for violence and oppression, and that’s pretty much what the church has been until the present. In fact, it’s quite striking in recent years, elements of the church — in particular the Latin American bishops, but not only them — tried to go back to the Gospels».
